We have the same problem. We also work on OS/390. We managed to liberate the
disk volume doing a move data to the next storage pool. Doing it to the same
storagepool as the disk belongs to did not work. This solved my problem so I did
not investigate more deeply.

The TSM 4.2 Technical Guide mentions improvements of the snap in for the

of a TSM server and could serve as a replacement of the late Windows Admin

We see the same phenomenon with Oracle table files. We backup those files
to 7 GB Magstar XL tapes, but the tape drive compresses the files to fit
as much as 24 GB on one tape. It actually put 32 GB once!
By contrast, the same drives compress our Domino data to fit 8.5 GB on a 7
GB tape.
